Last backup - resume option

[Elanchezhiyan-P]

Hello @artehe ,

I’ve been working on taking incremental backups of iPhone files. I want to set it up so that only new or modified files are backed up to avoid duplicating unchanged files. Do you have any recommendations on how to approach this?

Is that not just using this?

using (UsbmuxLockdownClient lockdown = MobileDevice.CreateUsingUsbmux("60653a518d33eb53b3ca2322de3f44e162a42069")) {
    using (Mobilebackup2Service mb2 = new Mobilebackup2Service(lockdown)) {
        mb2.BeforeReceivingFile += BackupJob_BeforeReceivingFile;
        mb2.Completed += BackupJob_Completed;
        mb2.Error += BackupJob_Error;
        mb2.FileReceived += BackupJob_FileReceived;
        mb2.FileReceiving += BackupJob_FileReceiving;
        mb2.FileTransferError += BackupJob_FileTransferError;
        mb2.PasscodeRequiredForBackup += BackupJob_PasscodeRequiredForBackup;
        mb2.Progress += BackupJob_Progress;
        mb2.Status += BackupJob_Status;
        mb2.Started += BackupJob_Started;

        await mb2.Backup(false, true, "backups", tokenSource.Token);
    }
}

That would then run the backup without forcing a full backup everytime and should just send any files which have changed... although that can still be quite a lot.
